NBA trade season unofficially kicked off on Monday , when most players inked to free agent deals over the summer became eligible to be moved. This year, Chicago only has one such player in point guard Tre Jones . The Bulls are often averse to making many transactions, given how terrible their front office is at pulling them off. Last season, Chicago acquired Jones from the San Antonio Spurs as part of the three-team blockbuster Zach LaVine deadline deal with the Sacramento Kings. Jon...

Jake Allen might be rocking a decent enough .912 through his 18 appearances but the Devils overall sit in the middle of the NHL pack (tied for 16th overall) with a team save […]

Time brings the mighty low. It makes the tall stoop, the proud humble themselves. We know this implicitly. We just wish it wouldn’t apply to our free agent signings. Enter Adolis García. At the end of the 2023 season he was riding a great Texas-sized wave, hoisting a Gold Glove, the ALCS MVP trophy, and […]

We all should have seen last week coming. If there’s one thing that’s predictable about this Carolina Panthers team, it’s that they’re remarkably consistent with their inconsistency. They play poorly when you think they’ll play well. They play well when you think there’s no chance they do so. That makes this week kind of tough […]

Shough hit Chris Olave for the game-tying TD, and New Orleans’ defense got a stop. It didn’t feel likely, but Shough did enough […]

William Shoukri and Patrik Bexell teams up to talk about Laval Rocket and the ‘Big Beautiful Brawl’ where Alex Belzile, Laurent Dauphin (whom we forgot while recording) and Joshua Roy received three games suspensions, but more importantly what has happened to Joshua Roy since his demotion from the Montreal Canadiens? He isn’t on the first line of the Rocket, is that Pascal Vincent’s fault or Joshua Roy’s? However, points aren’t coming at the pace fans, or Eyes on the Prize staff, expected. ...
